Roadway Preservation and Reconstruction
Milton’s Engineering Department is committed to preserving our community’s streets through a data-driven, multi-tiered pavement management program. Our strategy is rooted in a comprehensive long-term roadway improvement plan that prioritizes preservation treatments and full reconstruction based on pavement condition, underground infrastructure status, and funding availability. Together, these efforts aim to maintain safety, infrastructure integrity and cost-efficiency across Milton's 90-mile local road network. To learn more about how we assess and prioritize road repairs, explore our Pavement Management Report Summary, which provides detailed insights into road conditions, performance metrics, and future project planning. This report helps guide the Town’s efforts to optimize resources and extend the lifespan of Milton’s road network.
To learn more about the different treatment methods that Milton provides, please see below:
Fog Seal (2025) COMPLETED:
The Town has retained Indus to complete fog sealing on the following streets:
Street name | From | To |
School St | Central Ave | Randolph Ave |
Big Blue Dr | Wolcott Rd | Truman Hwy |
| Dollar Ln | Blue Hill Ave | Canton Ave |
| Hemlock Dr | Blue Hill Ave | Canton Ave |
| Forest St | Hillside St | Chickatawbut Rd |
| Rockwell Pl | Rockwell Ave | Dead end |
| Eaton St | Washington St | Quincy CL |
| Howard St | Washington St | Dead end |
| Johnson St | Washington St | Dead end |
| Rockwell Ave | Washington St | Quincy CL |
| Washington St | Adams St | Quincy CL |
A fog seal is a minimally disruptive, preventative maintenance surface treatment designed to preserve and extend the life of a street. It consists of spraying a thin layer of specialized asphalt on the existing road surface and allowing it to cure. Your road may be closed for a few hours while the treatment cures. The fog seal on your street will be completed in one day. While the fog seal is being placed and cured, no vehicle access to or from your driveway will be allowed. The fog seal requires dry pavement to cure properly so we are asking residents to please refrain from watering their lawns on the days we are working. If the pavement is wet, it will take longer to cure and will delay road opening.
This work is expected to start on Friday May 16th, 2025 through Tuesday May 20th, 2025 weather dependent and excluding weekends. Police details will be onsite to direct local traffic and assist the construction crews. Street parking will be prohibited during construction, 7am to 5pm.
The trash collection schedule will not be affected by this work but please expect a pick up time prior to 7am on your scheduled day.
If you have any questions or concerns, please send an email to eng.inspection@miltonma.gov or call Engineering at (617) 898-4872. Your continued patience throughout this project is greatly appreciated.
Microsurfacing (2025) COMPLETED
The Town has retained Indus to complete microsurfacing on the following streets:
Street Name | From | To |
Reedsdale Rd | Brook Rd | Canton Ave |
Canton Ave | Reedsdale Rd | Brook Rd |
Brook Rd | Thompson Ln | Canton Ave |
Microsurfacing is a fast, economical method for providing a wearing surface to new or existing pavement. It is a modern pavement maintenance approach which consists of fine graded aggregates and asphalt emulsions. The microsurfacing mixes are prepared on the job and spread quickly, easily and evenly on the road. Microsurfacing is a non-polluting asphaltic product that improves skid resistance and reduces the oxidation of the underlying pavement helping to maintain a smooth durable roadway for as long as possible. Before the microsurfacing is applied, some preparatory work takes place in the weeks leading up to the application. This may include crack sealing, minor pot hole patching and structure/casting adjustments, vegetation trimming along the curb line/edge of pavement, and grinding/removal of existing pavement markings.
The microsurfacing is applied to the roadway in two layers. As such the contractor will apply the first layer to all of the roads listed above on the first day and will return to apply the second layer the following day. Every effort will be made to keep roadways open to at least one-way traffic at all times however vehicular traffic will not be allowed on the new pavement for at least 1 hour after it has been placed, until it has cured. While the microsurfacing is being applied and cured, no vehicle access to or from your driveway will be allowed so please plan accordingly. The microsurfacing requires dry pavement to apply and cure properly so we are asking residents to please refrain from watering their lawns on the scheduled work days.
This work is expected to start on Tuesday August 5th, 2025 through Wednesday August 6th, 2025 weather dependent. Police details will be onsite to direct local traffic and assist the construction crews. Street parking will be prohibited during construction, 7am to 5pm.
The trash collection schedule will not be affected by this work but please expect a pick up time prior to 7am on your scheduled day.
If you have any questions or concerns, please send an email to eng.inspection@miltonma.gov or call Engineering at (617) 898-4872. Your continued patience throughout this project is greatly appreciated.
